Britain’s ‘Queen of Soul’ Mica Paris has called for stronger support for emerging Black talent in the UK, saying the music industry needs to do more to nurture new artists outside of the mainstream.
“It’s hard for Black artists here,” Paris tells The Standard. “We need to have more radio stations in the UK that cater to black music. Right now, we have to be squeezed into pop. There’s only one avenue, which is Radio One.”
